Let
the mouth fast from disgraceful and abusive words, because, what gain is there
when, on the one hand we avoid eating chicken and fish and, on the other, we
chew-up and consume our brothers? He who condemns and blasphemes is as if he has
eaten brotherly meat, as if he has bitten into the flesh of his fellow man. It
is because of this that Paul frightened us, saying: "If you chew up and consume
one another be careful that you do not annihilate yourselves.”
St.
John Crysostom
